蒙古语正蓝旗土语元音和谐律研究

A Study on Vowel Harmony of Shuluun HuhVatois in Modern Mongolian

在蒙古语正蓝旗土语中,长元音基本保持了元音和谐律的固有规律,而短元音和衍生音节弱读元音保持元音和谐基本规律的同时出现央化和中和倾向。词首元音决定后续元音的类性质,即阴阳性质(舌位的高低组所属),而对后续元音音质有重要影响的却是词的第二音节元音,除非后续音节有展元音和圆唇元音的转换。传统语音学的所谓阴阳,就是元音的高低组划分,大约以第一共振峰的600Hz为界(男性发音),体现在舌位图上,就是用一个分界线把元音舌位图分成上下两个区域。蒙古语中一个词的发音,开口度不会有频繁的大幅度的张合变换,说到底,是发音的省力原理在起作用。

In Shuluun Huh vatois of Modern Mongolian, long vowel maintains the law inherent in vowel harmony; but short vowel and weak form of vowel in derived syllable has the intent of centralization and neutralization while they also maintains the vowel harmony. Vowel in first syllable decide what kind of vowels followed by （high or low）, and vowel in second syllable really influence the quality of following vowels, until the shift occurred between rounded and unrounded vowels. The term of YIN and YANG used in traditional phonetics refers to the high and low category of vowels divided by the boundary line of 600Hz in first formant. In Mongolian language, there are no frequent changes in degree of openness when the word being uttered, in the final analysis, it＇s a matter of convenience in articulation.
